Overview of Initializing and Verifying Router Software

Verifying the Router Software

Verifying the Router Software

Verifying the router software means to evaluate the performance of the bridging and routing services that have been configured in the router to ensure that bridging and routing is operating properly. Verifying occurs after the router hardware has been installed and the software initialized, and involves using the console to inspect router-generated data from the following sources:

Statistics screens

Event log

Bridging and routing tables

Node accessability tests (ping, Atping)

The remainder of this chapter provides an overview of the console interface, which is the tool to use for initializing, verifying, and managing your router.
